DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 5120 2.2GHz 14-core 64GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold 5120 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P hardware RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration targets organisations that need high core counts and hardware RAID in a compact 3U form factor. The quad-socket design supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 across 48 DIMM slots for memory-intensive applications. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.

48 DDR4 slots define maximum memory capacity

The server provides 48 memory slots and a 6 TB maximum capacity, allowing substantial RAM upgrades beyond the installed 64 GB. All modules must be DDR4 registered ECC to match the installed specification. This slot count and ceiling are the key figures when planning memory expansion for this chassis.
